The Ghost and Us Takes Best Comedic Horror Short at Tabloid Witch Awards

"Entries to the Tabloid Witch are often weak on story. Way too many serial killers or zombies killing people. Zombies attack. People run. Zombies kill. Repeat cycle. By contrast, The Ghost and Us has story arcs. Three of them, even! Each character changes in some small way by film's end.

Especially admirable is the film's middle (the turning point). Laura and Sena have called a temporary truce in their struggle for Ben's affections. Together, they share a snack in the kitchen. Girl stuff of the sort that bonds women. Then it becomes apparent that Sena cannot eat. She's a ghost."
